Save $600 on the Class 3 MOD Easy 3 e-bike at new $2,699 low

MOD Bikes is offering a significant price drop on its stylish Easy 3 e-bike for $2,699 shipped. Normally you’d be spending $3,499 on this newer model, with the few sales we’ve seen since the brand hit our radar usually only taking $300 off its price tag. Today though, that markdown has doubled to a solid $600 being cut from its going rate, giving you a quality ride (with unique and impeccable taste) at the lowest price we have tracked. You can learn some more about this e-bike (and its additional sidecar attachment) by reading through our hands-on review of its earlier design over at Electrek, or head below for more info on this newer model that sports some upgraded features.

As I’ve said before, the MOD Easy 3 has been a favorite of mine since I first discovered the brand, with its quality parts and unique style that resembles the classic Indian 741 Scout motorcycles that would cost you more than just an arm and a leg these days (and likely the closest I’ll ever get to riding one of those bad boys). I recently got ahold of one and so far it’s been a very exciting ride, mainly due to its design differences from most standard e-bikes these days that more resemble mountain bikes. It comes with a 750W rear brushless geared hub motor (1,000W peak), a removable 720Wh MOD Samsung Powerpack battery, and five levels of pedal assistance supported by a new torque sensor (upgraded from the previous version’s cadence sensor).

This thing really picks up and goes with its 28 MPH top speed and 50-mile travel distance (which can be doubled to 100 miles with an extra battery). You’ll also find other features like a 7-speed Shimano ALTUS derailleur, an integrated LED headlight and taillight with brake light functionality, a thumb throttle for pure electric action, fenders to go over both of its multi-terrain tires, a rear cargo rack, hydraulic disc brakes, dual suspension, a wide saddle, a bell, and an S3 smart color display with a USB port for charging your devices (another upgrade from the earlier simple LCD display) and password security for locking the e-bike.

There are two alternative configurations for the MOD Easy 3 e-bike, one with a sidecar attachment that includes a padded seat for $4,299 with the current $500 discount. Now I will admit, this is a steep price if you wanted to take a smaller child with you, considering that the rear rack is more than capable of supporting a child’s seat, but it does allow for kids, teens, and adults up to 150 pounds to have a unique riding experience – and even more specifically, your dog or similar pet. Keep in mind there are no seatbelts here though, but there are the dedicated D-ring anchor points to secure your dog’s leash or harness. If you want the same general style of the Easy 3 e-bike in more chopper-like format, there’s also the MOD Easy Ape Hanger 3 e-bike for $2,699, down from $3,499. It has much of the same features and specs, but with a much more simplistic, toned-down design that features chopper handlebars.

There’s plenty of other models worth checking out in MOD Bike’s latest sale on the landing page here.

EcoFlow flash sale

Score EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 or DELTA 2 Max power station bundles at up to 53% off in 1-day flash sale from $779 low

EcoFlow has launched yet another 24-hour flash sale that is offering some of the best deals we’ve seen on two power station bundles during its Early Prime Big Deal Days sale, which will also be ending tonight at midnight. The first of these deals is the brand’s DELTA 2 Portable Power Station with 220W solar panel for $779 shipped on Amazon. This package would normally cost you $1,649, with the few discounts we’ve seen over 2024 mostly keeping prices between $879 and $999. Today though, you’re getting the chance to score it at a 53% markdown that cuts $870 off its tag and gives you a new all-time low price.

Great to take along with you on weekend getaways into the wilds, the DELTA 2 power station provides you with a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that you can further expand up to 3,000Wh with the addition of extra batteries (bundle option below). You can charge devices and power appliances with its power output reaching up to 1,800W, with 15 port options to connect to: six ACs, four USB-As, two USB-Cs, and three DCs. Thanks to its fast-charging capabilities, you can get an 80% recharge for the station in just 50 minutes when connected to a wall outlet, while a full battery takes up to 80 minutes. It can also fully recharge in up to six hours with the included 220W solar panel – plus, it comes with real-time smart controls and an IP68 waterproof rating for ensured protection against water, dust, and debris.

There’s a few good alternative bundle options for this station too, with it coming with an extra battery in place of the solar panel for $998, down from $1,599, or you can double up its solar charging ability with two 220W panels for $1,149, down from $1,899. If you’d prefer just getting the power station alone, you’ll save 51% at the moment while its at $489.

The second deal during this short-term sale is direct from EcoFlow’s website, which is offering the DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station with an 800W Alternator Charger for $1,299, down from $2,498. With this model you’re getting a much larger 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can be expanded up to 6,144Wh with its extra battery additions. It dishes out power up to 3,400W in order to run “99% of home appliances,” with its six AC ports, four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two DC ports, and one car port. Not only does it allow for two solar inputs to be connected (up to 1,000W), but it also sports dual-charging through its two solar inputs and a wall outlet for faster recharges in just 43 minutes when you need to finish the job sooner than you expected. The included alternator charger also allows you to charge as you drive by connecting it to your car, giving you about 1,000Wh after 1.3 hours of driving.

Be sure not to miss out on all the other incredible deals from EcoFlow’s Early Prime Big Deal Days sale that will be ending tonight, while still offering a few more flash sales through the next couple of days.

Anker

Early Prime Day sale drops Anker’s SOLIX C1000 LiFePo4 portable power station back to $549 low

Early Prime Day pricing is already arriving ahead of the 2-day event, and through its official Amazon storefront, Anker is offering its SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station for $549 shipped, after clipping the on-page $450 off coupon. It normally goes for $999, but we’ve been seeing steadily growing discounts over 2024, with things hitting $599 at the top of July and first dropping to the $549 low after the month’s 2-day Prime Day event. We haven’t seen this low rate return in the time since, only dropping to $599 at best, but its back again today ahead of next week to give you a second chance at scoring it with a $450 markdown at the all-time lowest price we have tracked.

Anker designed the SOLIX C1000 in a more compact unit that is “15% smaller than the industry average,” delivering a reliable 1,056Wh LiFePO4 capacity (which you can bump up to 2,112Wh with this extra battery option). It provides a 1,800W power output that can surge up to 2,400W, covering a wide array of larger appliances despite its smaller size. It offers 11 output options to plug into: one carport, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and six AC outlets. Charging is relatively fast thanks to its UltraFast tech, giving you an 80% battery in 43 minutes or a full battery in 58 minutes, with solar charging through a 600W max input doing the job in about 1.8 hours. Through the Anker app, you’ll be able to get real-time status updates, view your battery level, and set AC charging speeds.

There’s also four bundle options to keep the savings rolling: grab the SOLIX C1000 with a 100W solar panel for $749, or a 200W solar panel instead for $899 – or you can bump it up to the 400W solar panel combo at $1,149. There’s also the chance to snag it along with a BP1000 expansion battery for $949. You’ll also find the expansion battery by itself at $449. These bundles offer some of the best and lowest rates we’ve seen yet and can make excellent backup power companions in everyday or emergency situations alike.

GoTrax

Get through your commute on GoTrax’s XR PRO electric scooter at $400 for today only

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the GoTrax XR PRO Commuting Electric Scooter for $399.99 shipped. You’d usually find this model sitting at a $550 price tag, with the last time we saw it being a drop to its $350 low back in April during a similar one-day sale. Today you can add it to your commute with a 27% markdown that strikes a solid $150 off its going rate, giving you the second-best price we have tracked.

A great option for folks with a shorter commute, the XR PRO electric scooter utilizes a 300W motor (peaking at 400W) alongside a 36V battery that allows it to reach top speeds of 15.5 MPH and carry you up to 19 miles before needing to recharge. It has an integrated digital display that gives you control over the scooter’s settings, a bright LED headlight for those late-night commutes and joyrides, with 8.5-inch pneumatic, pre-slimed tires that help you to avoid flats, pops, and tears. It also features a one touch folding function with a simple hook-n-latch system for easy transport and storage when you’ve arrived at your destination.

greenworks

Refurb and new condition Greenworks 80V 730 CFM cordless blowers at lowest prices from $130

Coming to us through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering a refurbished Greenworks 80V 730 CFM Cordless Handheld Blower for $129.99 shipped. Normally costing $250 in new condition, you’re looking at the third discount in 2024 that we’ve seen drop on this refurbished model, with May first seeing a drop to $160 and a further fall to $140 at the end of July. Today it’s getting an even bigger 48% markdown, saving you $120 and giving you the lowest price we have seen on a made-to-look-new-again model. Best Buy has even thrown in a 6-month warranty on both the blower and battery to ensure you get your money’s worth.

Coming along with a 2.5Ah battery that can be switched out for any others you may already have at the ready, this 80V blower promises “25% more air volume and 20% more speed” than its predecessors while also weighing in “20% lighter than gas blowers.” The battery gives it enough juice to tackle the debris in your yard for up to 70 minutes, depending on which of its two settings you choose. The brushless motor here produces air speeds up to 170 MPH, with an ergonomic design and variable speed control for easier handling – plus, you can toss out the need for gas and simultaneously work without smelling fumes the whole time. If you’d prefer to grab this model in new condition, Best Buy has also dropped the price there to its $170 low, down from its regular $250.

Brent oil futures climb 2% as Russia flows, U.S. policies in focus

Brent oil futures climb 2% as Russia flows, U.S. policies in focus

Oil prices edged down on Tuesday after surging nearly 2% in the previous session, as traders kept a close watch on developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Oil prices gained ground on Tuesday, as Ukraine war escalations raised questions over the resilience of Russian supplies, while uncertainty lingers over the impact of Washington’s policies on key oil consumers.

Brent futures with November expiry were at $69.46 per barrel at 10:54 a.m. London time ( 5:54 a.m. E.T.), up 1.92% from the Monday close.  

The front-month October Nymex WTI contract was trading at $65.97 per barrel, higher by 3.06%. WTI futures did not settle on Monday because of the U.S. Labor holiday.

Russia supply

Moscow and Kyiv have ramped up fire exchanges in their three-and-a-half-year conflict, with Reuters calculations pointing to Ukrainian drone attacks shutting down facilities accounting for at least 17% of Russia’s oil processing capacity. CNBC could not independently verify the report.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed “new deep strikes” against Russia in a social media post over the weekend, without disclosing details. His pledge comes amid stalling U.S. and European efforts to draw Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin into conceding to bilateral ceasefire talks with his Ukrainian counterpart.

The White House has separately piled on indirect pressure on Russia’s oil consumers, implementing additional levies on imports of Indian goods it attributed to New Delhi’s ongoing purchases of Moscow’s crude. India has criticized the impositions as “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable.”

In a further sign of deteriorating relations, U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday doubled down on lambasting Washington’s trade ties with India as a “totally one sided disaster.”

Critically, Washington has yet to move against China, the world’s largest crude importer and Russia’s biggest oil buyer since the introduction of G7 sanctions. Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met at this week’s Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, in a show of Global South unity.

OPEC+

Also on the supply side, oil investors are looking out for output policy signals from an eight-member subset of the OPEC+ alliance – comprising heavyweights Russia and Saudi Arabia, alongside Algeria, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Oman and the United Arab Emirates – which are due to deliberate potential production steps on Sept. 7. The group, which recently expedited unwinding a 2.2-million-barrels-per-day production cut, is widely seen as unlikely to change course on strategy this week.

“We believe, just like the broader market, that the group will leave production levels unchanged for October,” ING analysts said Tuesday. “The scale of the surplus through next year means it’s unlikely the group will bring additional supply onto the market. The bigger risk is OPEC+ deciding to reinstate supply cuts, given concerns about a surplus.”

U.S. rates

Market participants are likewise following this week’s release of the U.S. August job report, expected to be factored into the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting of Sept. 16-17. The Fed is currently widely expected to lower interest rates at the time, in a move that could echo into a softer greenback and push up demand for U.S.-denominated commodities, such as oil.

BMW’s wild new electric motorcycle doesn’t even need a helmet

BMW's wild new electric motorcycle doesn't even need a helmet

BMW Motorrad just dropped a futuristic electric motorcycle concept that looks like it rolled straight out of a sci-fi movie and into a design studio. The new concept, called the BMW Motorrad Vision CE, is the company’s latest attempt to answer a question that’s been bouncing around for a while now: What should an electric BMW motorcycle actually look like?

Apparently, the answer is: not like anything else on the road.

Where traditional cruisers are low-slung and heavy with chrome, BMW’s new electric concept is lean, sharp, and unapologetically modern. The design team says it blends “emotional tech” with urban performance, which sounds like marketing fluff to me. But what we’re really looking at here is a sleek mashup of café racer attitude, cyberpunk energy, and hidden electric performance.

A structural canopy and a four-point harness work together to provide enclosed protection, meaning riders won’t necessarily need a helmet like on a traditional motorcycle – though eye protection is still a must.

The CE 04-based concept bike still keeps some familiar lines, like a long, low silhouette and exposed mechanical elements, but everything else is turned up to eleven. LED lighting slashes through the front end. A massive disc-style rim dominates the rear. The bodywork floats above the drivetrain. And the whole bike looks like it could transform into a drone if you pressed the right button.

Under the hood – well, under the body panels – BMW hasn’t revealed exact specs yet, but the CE-04 platform this is based on was already pushing 31 kW (42 hp) and a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), making it ideal for urban riding and modest highway hops.

BMW says the Motorrad Vision CE is more than just a design exercise. It’s a glimpse at how the brand plans to evolve its iconic Motorrad DNA into the electric age. And while the bike is just a concept for now, it wouldn’t be the first time BMW took something wild off the show stand and eventually turned it into a production machine. (Remember the original CE 04 concept? Yeah, that’s a real bike you can overpay for and ride right now.) And of course, how could we not mention the original BMW C1 that adopted a similar helmet-free semi-enclosed cage design 25 years ago?

BMW has already made it clear that it sees electric mobility as the future of urban riding, and with the CE lineup forming the core of that push, we might not have to wait too long to see something like this actually hit the streets.

So if you’ve been waiting for a proper electric motorcycle that doesn’t just replace the engine but reimagines the whole experience to feel less biker-like, BMW’s latest concept might just be a glimpse at what’s coming next, reimagining the past with a focus on the future.

A leading electric dirt bike maker just got a massive boost, and is coming for gas bikes

A leading electric dirt bike maker just got a massive boost, and is coming for gas bikes

Stark Future, the Spanish electric motorcycle maker that turned the off-road world on its head, just locked in a fresh round of funding, pushing its total capital raised past €100 million. And unlike the big, flashy VC rounds we usually see, this one came mostly from existing backers and a few hand-picked newcomers, including some heavy hitters from the MotoGP world.

In what has become classic Stark style, the round was closed quickly and quietly, underscoring just how confident investors are in the brand’s growth trajectory. CEO and founder Anton Wass says the company intentionally offered a “very attractive valuation” to those who already believed in the mission.

“We managed to close it within a couple of weeks,” said Wass. “It’s a strong testament to the results our team has created.”

And it’s not just hype. Stark has proven it can build bikes that not only compete with gas-powered motocross machines, but completely outclass them. Their flagship model, the all-electric Stark VARG, claims the title of most powerful motocross bike ever made. Riders have already racked up tens of millions of kilometers on the VARG, and the bike has helped convert thousands of motocross enthusiasts to battery power. The model even got e-motos banned from the X-Games when the organizers feared that gas-powered bikes couldn’t keep up.

That kind of traction, paired with the company’s rapid expansion into over 70 countries, explains why investors are still lining up to get a piece of the action.

But what really makes Stark stand out in the electric motorcycle world is its quick path to profitability. That’s a rare word in the electric motorcycle space, especially for such a young company. Just two years after their first deliveries, and within six years of founding, Stark Future is profitable and thriving. With each passing year, they seem to be improving margins, growing revenues, and launching new platforms.

And speaking of new platforms, those are coming, too. The company teased “very exciting new products” on the way, though didn’t drop specifics just yet. From the rumor mill though, it sounds like the company is preparing street models that could give gas bikes a run for their money. And if they’re anything like the VARG, we can certainly expect bikes that push boundaries and continue proving Wass’s bold thesis: electric motorcycles can outperform internal combustion in just about every way.
